Armbands? :) What are you getting / what is the best for the Ultra - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories

I am surprised it hasn't come up yet, but most people will keep it in their pocket since all you can use is wireless earbuds with it.

[Q] Headphones :S so confusing

So Ive never been into buying headphones or things like that, ive always thought that they were all the same just different branding so i'd usually go for the £2.99 ones that break after a months use -.- But after using the ones that come with Samsung handsets ive noticed there is a difference, my ones have prob lasted around 6 months or so which is quite good considering they come with the phone, but now im starting to see signs of wear as they're noticeably quieter than before.
So I looked into some new headphones and i found the "Sennheiser CX 200 Street II" which is Sennheisers baseline in-ear head phones. But i dont know how they'll compare with the default Samsung ones, im guessing they are decent since they are from Sennheiser but has anyone owned a pair of these particular headphones, they cost about £21.99, im not exactly rich, so i dont want to be left with buyers remorse thinking ive just thrown away 20 quid, may not sound alot but I am only 17 so recommending a £200 Dj standard pair of headphones is pretty redundant. And to add to it, theres like 50+ differnt styles and manufacturers who make headphones at that price mark which makes it even more confusing :S Damnit, if they were phones I could tell you all the specs and whats got more Ram and what SoC a particual phone has, but i don't know **** about headphones XD
Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated [/FONT]

I can't comment on the senn in-ear phones.
couple comments: yes, sennheiser is a company that makes really good headphones, but they also make some **** ones that cost a lot more than they're worth. going by name brand alone will give you a lot of buyer's remorse, in headphones and just about any product.
you could search head-fi.org for recommendations under US$50. there's quite a few threads about that there, and some head-fi'ers here (including me) who have posted about headphones.
my own recommendation: for about £20, try the MX470, MX471, MX580, or MX581. If you can get a Yuin PK3, get that. If you can spend a little more (and not that much more if it's on sale), get the Koss Porta Pro. And in your searching, look up 'headphone burn-in' -- they'll get a lot better quicker.

i only use skullcandy products they are just awsome and also affordable

[Q] Motorola Atrix Keyboard and Mouse with a Note 2?

Just ordered this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005EKLHTO/ref=nosim/?tag=hotukdeals-21
Cracking price for us UK users for an excellent Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse. The seller has good reviews, so no fear there.
You can even trade in the Dock/Remote at CEX for £11 and you get a top quality BT Keyboard/Mouse for just £13.99.
Anyway, my question is this:
Does anyone have any experience of using this with a Note 2? I know the Dock/Remote is pretty redundant, but does the Android hot keys work?

Truly wireless earbuds for the Note 8?

Which truly wireless earbuds are you using with the Note 8 and you would recommend? Looking to buy one.
Been eyeing the Beoplay E8. I am more concerned about audio fidelity (for a bluetooth device) over any other factors.

The Beoplay E8 and Apple Airpods seem to be the best for the Note 8.
very good review of a few including the two above:

My concern is that he is testing all these using an iPhone. With the Note 8, even the codec being used changes. That is why I am looking for actual people using the Note 8 with wireless buds.

I've been using Beoplay E8's with Note 8 for the past 3 weeks and I've gotta say, I'm amazed! Audio quality is good, connection strong, and no issues so far. App lets you adjust audio and build is outstanding.

I've been using Gear Gear Iconx (2016) would love to upgrade to the 2017 model for better battery life.

I got the 2018 icon X. They can be paired with a device or even used without one. They sound good and have good touch controls.

I had the Icon X 2018, got them from B&H for $150, they were great at the beginning, but some annoynaces were like this:
1. No way to Power Off the buds without putting them back in the case, this means lots of charging/discharging the whole time.
2. Touch controls became finicky after about 2 weeks.
3. Totally subjective I know, but they hurt my ears, tried all combinations.
Back to Jaybird RUN, with latest FW Update the BT connection is rock solid, Volume is much higher than the IconX 2018, and the sound fidelity through the Jaybird App EQ settings is Superb to say the least, and I'm a musician so I know quality sound vs ... you know!

I just picked up the Blueant Pump Air.
Not bad at all and super light (4 grams)
http://www.myblueant.com/products/headphones/pumpair/

I have finally decided to pick up the E8. Once the Note 8 gets Oreo (which should be soon), i guess the lack of aptx will not matter much.
How is the audio delay when watching youtube videos with the latest firmware?
On a side note, there is Ashley Chloe's Fuse coming out soon. They have aptx and usb c charging! Would have considered them if they were to be available by mid february.

I have the Jabra elite sport and I really like them

1. They power off on their own when disconnected from blue tooth.
2. I've had them since Christmas and use them everyday. Touch controls work as good as they did when I got them. Not sure what exactly would make them "finicky" after working fine.
3. They literally have four different size pads. If you can't find a fit, then you got wonky ears lol.
Seems you quickly wrote off the IconX because you all ready had your mind made up. Which is fine, but let's be honest. The jaybird RUN is an icon X knockoff. And what's funny is I read more issues about the jaybird sounding bad and not fitting right. They even have the same pod case setup that Samsung uses. And surprise, surprise, they are just $15 less msrp than the icon X. You can tell they are trying to be the icon X. I'll just stick to the original that happens to also work seamlessly with my device. I'm also not sure what being a musician has to do with hearing sound quality, but hey, as long as you feel good about it...

I was looking at the B&O but ended up ordering the crazybaby nano off indiegogo mainly due to BT5 and future proofed.
These are shipping this month and the order is locked so have no doubt to question this date (as I am with other campaigns).

NONE OF THEM SOUND GOOD
you'd be disappointed.
i have the the bose one, bragi one

Hey, do you have issues? or really really long free and boredom time at your hands?
You criticised and analyzed every bit of word that I wrote, as if you are the master of the world, and you know everything and that you are God of technology. Grow the f up dude, I was just sharing my experience peacefully, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I loved the IconX but preferred the Jaybird RUN at the end, end of story!

Let's not forget that the Truely wireless "thing" is still a new "thing" they will mature with time and provide better options than what we have now.
I have gone through a bunch of them - at the holiday -, and it was like you cannot just get all the PROS from all of them into 1 set, each had their pros and cons, like anything else.
I was expecting the Bose to be the top, but with their open-ended design, the sound was very shallow and thin, maybe it was made like this by design to provide ambiance awareness or sth., Elite Sport was great too.

Could someone suggest one that won't cost me a kidney? Already sold my right kidney for Note 8. Jk but foreal nothing over $100? Now I could just search top ten earbuds for under $100. But I rather hear from someone who has the same phone as me. I've seen different results with headphones from 1 phone to a totally different phone.

Good wirefree headphones will be hard to find sub $100 since the tech is still new :/

Note 10+ features ported to Note 9

Hi
I wonder if some features of the Note 10+ could be ported to the Note 9
I believe that the features that dont depend on different or addicional hardware could be ported
E.G.
- Double tap to wake on system options (that wont mess up AoD)
- S Pen features such as Handwriting recognition or others (not the gestures part cause they depend on some addiocional hardware on the Note 9 S Pen, and also... they´re just weird *...)
- SuperSteady Video and Night Mode on front camera would be nice but i´m suspecting that those features might require different or addicional hardware
- Samsung DeX on Windows would also be nice to have...
These are a few of the features i would enjoy on my Note 9
What you guys think?
Do you believe that is better to make the upgrade?
Or you agree that some of the new features of the Note 10+ should be updated to the Note 9 from Samsung itself?
What features would you like to use on your Note 9?
RSGI
* - If you dont mind looking like Harry Potter while taking a picture outside... go ahead and upgrade

Have upgraded but I agree, a lot of the newer features are mostly software...
After the hoo-haa of the Note 10 release, probably 3 - 4 months away, the Note 9 should get a few of these features (those not dependent on the new hardware anyway)..
If not, Samsung is guilty of forcing you to upgrade simply for their financial gain.

Forcing? Seriously? What an entitled generation! Samsung pays for that software to be developed. You can pay for it too! They aren't forcing you to do anything. Profit is good. It drives innovation.

My old Note 4 N910C is working perfectly as well. However recently I have been having issues getting a decent signal with HK Cell Providers, which is what forced me to upgrade to the Note 8.

I would pay them to use the features on my Note 9.
But I will never buy a phone without headphone jack and a punchout hole.

I'd really like the screen recorder software on the note 10+ to be ported to the note 9!
I recieved my note 10+ yesterday and its really not impressing me. It feels a little off for some reason. Maybe because the power button being on the left side? I can't quite place my distaste for this phone.
I find my fingers getting in the way of the camera quite easily. And the front facing camera, not sure if I'd ever get use to that. Every time I make/recieve a call all I see is that camera about to goto my ear and it feels like my ear is about to be violated by a doctor with a telephoto stethoscope?
Enough of that though! Yes, the screen recorder definitely needs to come to the note 9.

You can get native screen recording with good Lock using the nice shot module.

Isn't it a bit like you would have to buy a new PC every time windows comes with a new feature or something?
Anyway, I can search handwritten notes and also extract text, so I think Note9 already has Handwriting recognition? Maybe it's build in the the Note app itself?

I agree! Neither would I. I'll use a Note9 for as long as possible, and if Samsung doesn't smarten up, this will be my last Samsung. No headphone jack was a retarded Apple idea that Samsung follows like lemmings off a cliff.

Yep. No replaceable battery. No sdcard. But they brought back the sdcard, then brought in the dumb curved edges. Removing the headphone jack goes too far. I won't buy another Samsung if I cannot connect my headphones.

The curved display, while a little annoying, isn't so bad, you can get used to it --- my only huge complaint about it is that it makes cases a nightmare because you can't physically reach the edges of the screen thanks to the design of most cases... (Although arguably if you don't drop the phone you really don't need a case today thanks to the super-hard gorilla glass, I'm just paranoid from so many years of " just look at the phone to hard and it'll get a scratch" --- the one and only feature that flip phones really were a better design)
Also, I think I saw somewhere that one version of the Note 10 actually loses the SD card once again in favor of dual SIMs instead... (though that could be for specific markets where it's more popular like Asia)
I agree on the headphone jack - I actually spend considerable money on good headphones (both my main PC headphones and my phone headset are Sennheiser) because you simply cannot get the same quality from Bluetooth yet (not to mention that is one more device to remember to charge --- though when/if they could get charging as quick as the Spen I'd forgive that, I'd even give up longer listening times if I could just hold the headphones against the back of the device for 30 seconds to get an hour of listening time)
And here's a disturbing thought --- Is the removal of the headphone jack just a step towards removing ALL wired peripheral support? I mean we have wireless charging now, and wireless headphones/headsets, not to mention wireless keyboards/mouse and wireless displays (albeit with slow refresh time and/or high lag) so arguably they could "justify" removing the USB port as well to claim "now it's 100% sealed so it's more waterproof!" while, in reality, making it that much harder to root the phone (and conveniently making wireless peripherals "only work best with Samsung brands" like the Samsung's wireless earbuds)?

Lots of people use wired headphones. And lots of people are not buying devices because they lack a 3m5mm audio jack.
But, Go on and toe the line for device manufactures though, who are simply doing this the cut costs and make waterproof certification easier.

Well it's not like if technology shouldn't advance. I'm not saying the Jack has to go right now, but at some point it will need to. Could you imagine if digital cameras today still required a roll of film to use in some way?
Now instead of buying a roll of film, you buy an sdcard. Instead of buying wires, you buy wireless. Instead of using fax, you can now email.
All advances my friends, all advances. And yes a company has to cut cost because....
Say it with me...
"All businesses are in the business of making money!"
Hey look at it this way though. At least the phone comes with wireless Airbuds that IT can charge. Now that's tech! I can't charge any other damn thing in my house without plugging it in, yet that thing can charge music transporters?!
Think about that for a second...

How idiodic to compare going from film to SD cards.. a clear improvement,both in terms of speed and reusability.
While on the other hand going from wired headphones with no audio quality loss,no batteries to recharge, and most importantly, NO BATTERIES TO RECHARGE.
Wireless headphones are useless for many people, including those who ride streetbikes and put headphones I. While riding. Good luck getting wireless headphones to fit under a helmet without turning your ears Into Swiss cheese, and hopefully you don't go out for more than 4 hours at a time, otherwise, no music 4 u!
It's not an "advancement". You don't need to remove the headphone jack to have the ability to use wireless headphones.
Say it with me one more time.... The lack of the 3.5mm headphone jack is just a way for companies to cut costs and make waterproof certification easier. It has nothing to do with "technology advancing". It's the same reason that only the note 4 had a IR blaster and then they stopped that. It was an incredibly useful feature that was cut to make more $$$. Samsung is doing it's best to put me on a xaomi or huwaie phone. Currently they seem to be the best phones on the market when you look at features vs price.

OEM's put headphone jacks on phones back in the days of the flip phone. Now everyone is just copying Apple becasue it's so trendy. The jack will never be obsolete lol. Sure, IR and a jack connector are “old tech”. The launch date of the tech is not the relevant factor. What matters is whether these technologies remain in installed use. Most PA systems, projectors, TVs, air cons etc installed and in use in hotels, meeting rooms, schools, clubs and so on use these technologies.
So if you want to interface with them, you need those technologies.
I just love it when all these bleeding edge people with their bleeding edge gizmos discover that it takes an old fuddy-duddy with a proper ‘workhorse’ phone to be able to get the projector switched on before business can commence.

Why do I get the idea that neither of you took my post for the sarcasm sections that it had.??? Well it is somewhat difficult to portray over text with giveaways. ?
Well I guess I have to be serious about my post then.
First guy, Dave, cool man, yes those technologies are everywhere, the systems advanced to where they got so that they can be utilized everywhere. Wireless tech is advancing as well. BMW has a car that can be charged wirelessly. Think of all the other tech that could be charged wirelessly in the future. Or what other advancements they can make based off that tech. Wait, why am I even talking about this? None of the TVs in my house have RGB connectors, and they said that's the best visual experience we could get. Now we have wireless 4k.
As for the troll guy, I am starting to think you might be the troll. Or you're just really hotheaded. You started your reply with calling my comparison idiotic. And you want an intelligent response from people? Nowhere in my post did I use inflamatory or disrespectful language, but in this one you'll get the feeling.
The point of my post was to show a logical reason for killing the headphone Jack. I even stated it shouldn't be killed right now, but no, you decided to skip over that first opening slice. I went on to agree with you on the fact that yes, they are doing it to cut cost. Hence "all businesses are in the business of making money!" Cause you know, people like money and companies have people in them. A shareholder's goal is to make as much money as possible so that the company keeps making money. Yes cut costs to save money. Hey look I was still agreeing with you.
You all sound like a bunch of old folks who don't like change. If you don't like the direction a company is going, buy some shares and be on the board of decision makers. If not, don't buy their devices. Or....go make your own.
Things will change with or without you, so either accept it or continue to feel bitter about old tech, yes OLD TECH, I SAID IT!!!
I need to stay off the internet at night. I seem to get into some weird stuff.
By the way, while y'all are *****ing about the 3.5mm headphone jack and missing it oh so much, Flynt Michigan STILL doesn't have clean water fam. STILL!??

Galaxy buds

Is anyone using Galaxy Buds with their P30 pro? I've just switched from the Galaxy S10+ and I've found that when I use the galaxy buds with the P30 pro I'm getting really poor call quality on the receiver's end. Sounds fine for me, but people on the other end say they have trouble hearing me and that I sound like I'm underwater. When I switch back to the S10+ then my calls sound normal again. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have any suggestions?

I think the issue is the buds itself i read about that issue with other phones as well. There supposed to some updates from Samsung to improve the quality. I have one myself I don't mind the audio for listening it's pretty decent however the call quality is crap a lot of feed back. I don't really care to be honest since i only use it mostly for music. I really like it for the comfort and case size it's nice and small compared to others. Could there be improvements for sure. But you'll probably need to pay a higher price if you want something better overall. But even with the expensive ones that I've seen the casing way to big for me. To be honest i'm eyeing on the Google buds waiting for those one to be available like to see how good they are.

Sounds fine for me, but people on the other end say they have trouble hearing me and that I sound like I'm underwater. When I switch back to the S10+ then my calls sound normal again. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have any suggestions?

Been using buds with mine for months now, absolutely no issues! I use it mainly for phone calls and never heard anyone complain even outdoors.

I think the issue is the buds itself i read about that issue with other phones as well. There supposed to some updates from Samsung to improve the quality. I have one myself I don't mind the audio for listening it's pretty decent however the call quality is crap a lot of feed back. I don't really care to be honest since i only use it mostly for music. I really like it for the comfort and case size it's nice and small compared to others. Could there be improvements for sure. But you'll probably need to pay a higher price if you want something better overall. But even with the expensive ones that I've seen the casing way to big for me. To be honest i'm eyeing on the Google buds waiting for those one to be available like to see how good they are.

That's the strange thing though, they sound fine when I pair them with the S10+, it's only when I pair them with the P30 pro that the call quality sucks, which doesn't really make sense to me. I'll try them out with a couple more devices to see whether it's the buds themselves that don't play well with non-Samsung devices or whether it's the P30 pro that doesn't like them.
